Other useful Libraries in London include the RAI Anthropology library based in the British Museum which provides free access to many Anthropological titles and books. These include items not available at LSE

Citing and referencing

Once you have found your references, remember that you must cite them correctly. Refer to the Departmental handbook or your tutor for guidance on which style to use.

If you have a large number of references keep track of them using EndNote or Mendeley bibliographic software. These can be used with Word to format your references automatically. You can also export references automatically from many online databases. The Library offers regular training courses and there are support materials in Moodle.
